Now that summer is on its way, the pressure starts to set in to plan a great family vacation. Of course, a family vacation is supposed to be a fun, memorable event – but if money is tight, it can be a supremely stressful event for the parents! When money is tight, one great vacation solution is to not plan a vacation that requires travel, and to instead plan a “staycation” – a stay at home vacation.
Setting the dates and making sure everyone recognizes that these days will be treated the same as if you were on vacation is the first step to planning a staycation. This can be a tough sell with teenagers, as they will sometimes tell you that a staycation is a “lame” idea, and that they would rather go hang out with their friends. But a successful staycation requires you to make sure the kids are not heading off to spend the night with their friends, and that you and your spouse are not spending your time shopping or playing golf!Moved Permanently

Another big key to a successful staycation – and a great way to keep everyone around – is to make the staycation shorter than a regular vacation would be. If you would maybe take a week-long vacation were you to travel, shorten this to a four day vacation if you are staying at home. And anyway, about two of those seven days for a “travel vacation” are usually consumed with traveling anyway, so you still have plenty of time with your staycation! And making sure you have things planned to do is the biggest thing left once you have set the dates and have convinced everyone to be there. If you have a staycation that just forces everyone to sit around the house, they will be on the phone, in front of the television, with a book, et cetera. Instead, you should treat things like you would a travel vacation – planning games for the time when you are all at home, and planning events for your time away from home. Many people find that their “staycations” are the best vacations they ever take; you can find the same thing, if you plan correctly!
